THANK YOU so much. I am retired disability Social Security and dis State Govt retirement. I was a Sworn State Police Officer and the incompetent thing bothers me about my CCDW Permit.

Yes, I have no problem with wife being appointed. She also works for State Police. I have my deceased father and 2 brothers deceased and posess their guns holding until their grandsons are grown to appreciate them and treasure them. I'd like to not have to give them up. As a Former sworn officer, I feel me having my weapons is legit? I want my comp but, Im not incomptent at all. If I were, I would have killed a man that murdered my 32 ye old brother and a 28 yr old man that raped my 11 yr old daughter. Several years ago. Any info or input greatly appreciated.

Thank You my Brother

GOD BLESS YOU

DALE

Jim Strickland , VAWatchdog, has been relentless in exposing some of the VA's fiduciary problems so one must really be careful of this proposed incompetency BS.

I just posted this AM a release here from OIG as to their latest fiduciary investigation.

http://www.vawatchdog.org/10/nf10/nfaug10/nf080910-1.htm -link to some of Jim's ideas for proposal of incompetency-

This is a start as to what Jim recommends but he has posted additional info at the VAWatchdogToday site as well that is more updated.

You need to appeal this right away and ask for a hearing. If I were you I would print off the whole Office of Inspector General Press Release I posted here and tell VA this is evidence that would warrant them to reconsider.Based on the incompetence and downright theft of some of their VA appointed fiduciaries.

Other crooks have been caught as well by OIG stealing fiduciary money from vets.

If SSA didn't find you incompetent and you pay your bills on time ( and even if you dont) you can fight this and they will ( or should) appoint the wife.

There are search features at VAWatchdog today to seek more info on what Jim advises to do.

I think this stuff is VA BS pure and simple.They can stave off the retro whenever they do this.

Again I remind all here- if you get an IMO for any MH issue make sure the IMO doctor makes a statement with some rationale that you are competent to handle your own funds.

Unfortunately the new PTSD regs prohibit getting an IMO for a PTSD diagnosis.

I might have VAOLA paranoia but I see a distinct "nexus" between the new PTSD regs and this incompetency BS for Mental Health claims.

Both are guaranteed to withhold compensation from veterans.

Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was

simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."

Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.

You have two things to persue here.

First, you need to check to see if your VA physician or C and P examiner stated in your records you were incompetent to handle finances.

1)If your doc says you are incompetent, they you are going to need an IME/IMO, that is, another docs opinion to refute this. These are not necessarily cheap.

2). If your doc did NOT say you are incompetent, then it is conjecture on the part of the VA, and you should be successful in the appeal.

My advice is that if your WIFE is declared your trustee, and if you feel comfortable with that, then you will need to choose whether you want to spend the time and money to appeal the incompetency part.

If the VA insists on picking out the trustee, then you need to fight this tooth and nail no matter what, no matter how long it takes or how much it costs.

Caveat: There are rumors the VA makes your spouse the trustee, then later doesnt like how she does it then appoints one of their crooks to steal your money. Also, you need to consider the possibility that your wife may pre decease you and then who do you want the trustee to be.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
